Maddox is not my real name, although it has been my online moniker for quite some time. It’s is a cool name, some people even tell me so. It’s original and somewhat unique, yet still common enough to be recognizable. I see the name written out in forums and blogs. It is used to refer to me online. I sign off on emails with it. … Continue reading Misnomer
Last weekend I volunteered the Gender Spectrum Conference in Berkeley, CA. It was very intense and lots of hard work, and I’ve been carrying the fatigue throughout this week. But I’m incredibly thankful to have been a part of such a wonderful endeavor. Summary As a quick summary, here’s what I spent the weekend doing: Greeting people, while directing them to obscure buildings on the … Continue reading Gender Spectrum Conference
This is the round-up post for August’s Carnival of Aces. This month’s theme was relationships, and we had a wide range of participants and posts. The Finalists Guess what? Everybody made the cut! (Ok, it was never a competition to begin with, but now you can’t say you’ve never won anything). Here’s the rundown, in alphabetical order: Ace Eccentric (from an Asexual Space) questions what’s … Continue reading Carnival of Aces: Relationships
This is my submission for the Carnival of Aces. Not Interested I don’t often frequent bars or clubs, and I don’t have many single friends that do either (nor many single friends at that). But in the rare occasions when I have been in a circle of acquaintances, all of whom are slightly straight and somewhat single, and interested in going to a bar or … Continue reading Carnival of Aces: Not Interested
In case you don’t know what I’m talking about, please catch up first. UPDATE I’m doing this college style, so you still have all day today to submit your post. I know I’m missing a few faces (names) on the roster, including mine. For those of you who have already submitted, a big thank you, you get extra credit (somehow)! August 1st Just a quick … Continue reading Carnival of Aces: Deadline Looms Near
First off, I can’t believe it’s been 5 months. It seems like such a long time ago; I can’t imagine my body any other way – even if it did used to be different, it feels so natural now it’s hard to believe that it was different. It also seems like such a short time, because I have many many many years ahead in my … Continue reading Top Surgery Update: 5 Months Post-Op
She Recently I have the elusive opportunity to “start over” with an entirely new group of people. I’ve already been introduced by my not-so-temporary shortened name, which doesn’t seem to fool anyone – they always ask if it’s short for “feminine name” and then comment on how it’s a strange way of shortening it. I’ve also been introduced as, or assumed to be, “she.” But … Continue reading Not Trans Enough
Celebrate! This blog has hit a major milestone: 250 comments! It’s an arbitrary number that looks arbitrarily large, so it sounds like a good enough excuse to celebrate! Share! I love hearing people’s thoughts – in fact, if I had a super power it would be mind-reading (among other things). In lieu of that, why don’t you share your thoughts voluntarily? That’s right, post a … Continue reading Comment Party!
Welcome! It seems that time has caught up with me, and it’s now my turn to host the monthly Carnival of Aces here at Neutrois Nonsense. First off, “a blog carnival is an event in which many people write blog posts around a single theme.” You can read more about this particular carnival (and its history) at Sciatrix’s Masterpost, which includes previous and future hosting … Continue reading Carnival of Aces: Call for Submissions
I recently added an Ask box to the blog – you might want to check it out! Question I was looking for FTN pictures on google and came across this, so I’m sorry if you’ve already answered (I haven’t read all of your stuff), but how did you go about getting the surgery and was there any other transitioning you did and how? I’m neutrois … Continue reading Reader Ramblings: The Process of Getting Top Surgery
